A 6800GS basically is a 6800GT, you can unlock the pipelines and overclock it so it litrally is a 6800GT so it really is supported.

No.

I doubt wether a 6800 GS will cut the mustard :eek:

I doubt anything below an X1800/7800GTX will run it at anything classed as playable.

Then again, some people will class a slideshow as playable FPS

I refuse to even visit a site that comes out with this gem:

"Upgrade to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better"

Well if you upgraded from say a 6800GT to an 8800 series or 2900 series then its possible, better image quality etc..

but its true..

i had a 1600xt then upgraded to a 2600xt and the image quality looks much better...

The 8800 is known for it superior IQ to any other cards that have come before it.

LLBDTiberio · 20 Oct 2007 at 11:55

Lol, only thing keeping me from a recommended rating is my 2900XT lol, oh well

Well you may get the odd occasion where everything looks better due to improved RAMDAC etc but I still reckon it is misleading to say that for example going from a 6800GS to a 6800ultra would makes Notepad look better.

In fact there are probably cases where switching to a LESS powerful video card will improve image quality in 2d apps.

Crysis is perfectly playable on a 6800GS, just have to keep reso down to around 1024x768 and keep everything on low.

It lies!

My CPU doesnt even max out the cpu rating yet an AMD 6000 does !

silversurfer · 20 Oct 2007 at 15:15

It takes 12gb

FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this recommended requirement. Upgrading to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better. Click the 'We Recommend' button to see some great options.

GTS? pffft

mrk · 20 Oct 2007 at 15:37

OMG I have an epic failure for recommended :mad:

Ross1234 · 20 Oct 2007 at 15:43

Your driver version number is: 7.15.11.6222

Is this the latest version?

LMFAO even my x2 4200 @ 2.7GHz maxes out the CPU bit

edit: only thing it failed was the recommended gfx due to my X1900XT 512MB, i clicked "we recommend" and it suggests a 7600GT, rofl.
